BSNL launches FTTH Technology service


The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) launched its Fibre To The Home or FTTH service in Patna, Bihar yesterday as reported. This will allow consumers with high-end demands such as HD TV, 3D TV, VoD, IPTV, etc, the integrated service of Internet, phone line and IPTV under one connection. High quality content will be available through this connection at speeds up to 100Mbps, which is not possible through conventional copper cables.

The traditional technology such as digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modem technology were unable to meet the high end demands of customers seeking high bandwidth applications such as high-definition TV, 3-D TV, high speed internet access, video on demand, IPTV, online gaming and distance learning, due to limitations of copper infrastructure or air interface, the FTTH method based on optical fibre provides high quality multi-play services with broadband speed up to 100 mbps (both download and upload).

Chief General Manager, Vijoy Kumar said, that the customer can avail two types of plan under this — limited and unlimited. Under the limited plan, a customer can avail the broadband service of bandwidth up to 2 mbps with 8 GB upload and download limit at Rs 1,500 per month while bandwidth up to 4 mbps with 30 GB download and upload limit and bandwidth up to 16 mbps with 100 GB upload and download limit are available at Rs 2,999 and Rs 6,999 respectively.
The unlimited plan cost for bandwidth up to 1 mbps is Rs 2,999, for 2 mbps at Rs 3,999, 8 mbps at Rs 11,999, 10 mbps at Rs 13,999, 20 mbps at Rs 25,999, 50 mbps at Rs 49,999 mbps and 100 mbps at Rs 83,999.
